"Merry Christmas guys!! I've been spending Christmas morning with Lesson 7! Such a great lesson! Again, let me say how awesome it is to have lessons that are very well focused (no going off on confusing tangents), simple sentences, and very slowly spoken. I can't tell you how helpful that is for a very beginning learner. Slow and simple. Keep it up - this lesson package is a true gem!!"

"I was really pleased with the course "How Korean Sentences Work." I'm a upper beginner and have been studying Korean for a while now, but I always struggled with the word order when it came to making longer Korean sentences, and sometimes sentences in general. This video course had exactly what I was looking for! Hyunwoo ssi, did a great job breaking down the process. The first lessons are about how Korean structure works in general, such as particles, conjunctions, etc. Although I learned them through their audio lessons, learning it again through a video course really helped to reinforce everything. By the time you get to the last lessons, learning how to make a long sentence is not at all difficult. If you need a little help getting your word order straight when making sentences, or just sentence trouble in general, I wholeheartedly recommend this video course. I just wish I could give it a high rating. Great job TTMIK!"

  2. Ian Paul B. Saligumba,

    Just finished this course and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you TTMIK Team for coming up with this very informative course. As a beginner, it really helped me how to construct sentences and make them longer. I still have to practice though in reading and writing. Nevertheless, I am so thankful that I came across your website. I am looking forward to more simple and informative lessons for beginners like me.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      감사합니다! 🙂

  3. Ashton Primm,

    Wow. This really helped me out. Any time I’ve watched dramas, variety content, or Korean youtubers since I’ve started learning, I have always been confused about where the verbs are & why the sentences are so long. Most of the time it gets translated into shorter english sentences, which really frustrated me. The last few lessons really really helped me understand. This is such a great course!

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      We are so happy to hear that our course was helpful. 🙂 Thank you for your comment!

    Love this course so far, but Lesson 13 isn’t showing an actual lesson. Only an introduction video to the course is playing.

      We appreciate your patience.

  9. Melmar Diata,

    Will there be more of this? This course helps me a lot to comprehend those sentences that I am confused of. I hope there will be more samples for those advance conjugations.
    Thanks TTMIK!

    Is there a way to remove a course from My Learning Centre? I added too many and now I feel disorganized! 😬

  12. Britaney Gaither,

    This is really helpful! I’m in book two and these videos of going through the basics to a gradual build up will help me as I advance. I feel I might have to pause when there are grammar rules or particles I didn’t learn in my book yet.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      That is such a great idea 🙂 Keep up the good work! ^^

  13. Kayla,

    I finished standard lessons 1-3 in just under 2 months and have been worried about moving onto 4. I feel like things will get harder so I switched over and went through this course instead! What an amazing refresher! It solidified a lot of my understanding, answered some questions that I had, and made me feel more confident in my korean and ability to move forward with Level 4.

    Thanks to the whole team, this was a great series and I look forward to continuing!

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thanks for your amazing feedback! 🙂 Keep practicing! 화이팅!^^

  16. Camila Rico,

    What is the difference between 승요차 e 자동차?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      승용차 is a passenger car that can take 6-9 people while 자동차 means every kind of car. 🙂 Hope this helps.

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Thanks for the comment ! 🙂 Hope you continue to find our courses helpful ! ^^ 감사합니다

  19. Chuck,

    This course has been super helpful to me. I’m happy to be able to think about sentence structure separate from vocabulary. But, I could use some help. In Lesson 13, I’m struggling to understand the inner structure/outer structure distinction. Where could I find a visual or written explanation of what is “inner” and what is “outer?”

    • sara,

      i also struggled with the conversion of 저는 to 제가 . i am hoping to learn more about this in the other courses, but would be grateful if TTMIK could direct me. otherwise, i am loving the course, it is just more time and practice i need

  22. Garde Amador,
